Where's Wayne Gretzky? Will Kyle Turris re-sign with the Coyotes? Was Manon Rheaume a publicity stunt? The NHL’s training camps are open – and with it, the volume of your questions is picking up. If you’re new to the THN mailbag, remember this: I do my best, but I can’t get to all the questions and I answer them here on THN.

In this week's mailbag: why hasn't Burke locked up his prized defender?; are the Canucks really that good?; and more. The countdown to the start of the regular season is on. Are you feeling excited yet? More importantly, are you feeling like you want to ask someone a hockey-related question and don’t know who to pose it to? If the answer is yes, send your inquiries to the usual address and I’ll do my best to get to them.

In this edition of the mailbag: are the Avs closer to first or worst?; will the World Cup return?; and much more. The cooler weather is a wonderful alarm clock for puck fans, waking us up to the coming hockey season. Hope everybody has a great and safe Labor Day weekend.

Will the Preds be able to keep all three of their big 2012 FAs?; how will the Devils do?; advertising on jerseys?; and more. A wise man once said, “send me your hockey-related questions and I’ll do my best to answer them” and you wise people responded.

In the week-ending mailbag: Will the Isles end up elsewhere?; was getting Vokoun good for the Caps?; and more. I’m back from a week off! And still hurting for introductory paragraphs for the mailbag. So this will have to do. Thanks as always for your postcards and letters, and remember, if you want your question returned, please include a self-addressed, stamped envelope.

Can the Leafs new No. 1 carry the team? The Islanders to Cleveland? Kronwall replace Lidstrom? Mr. Proteau is away from the office, as is half the THN crew, but we never stop answering your question. The Ryans, Dixon and Kennedy, step up as fill-ins this week.

Should Winnipeg have stayed the same? Who will be the best new pickup? Is Sather getting better in N.Y.? I’ll be off on vacation next week, but, as always, the mail around here never stops being answered, so keep submitting your questions. Until then, stay hockey fans, my friends.

Can Nabokov sign anywhere? Is Osgood a Hall of Famer? Is Brian Burke doing the right thing in Toronto? You might think I would never run out of ways to introduce the weekly THN.com mailbag. You would be wrong. Here’s this week’s THN.

Can the Panthers make the playoffs? Are the Wild a team to beat? How will the Canadiens do? How should the divisions re-align? It’s the middle of July, yet you wacky puck-lovers insist on continuing to bombard me with questions. I’d advise you to seek help.

A top dog in T.O.?... Can Bruins repeat?... Why a cap floor?... Setoguchi bitten by Sharks?... Thomas an all-time great? After a couple weeks off, THN’s mailbag returns! I was going to say, “returns triumphantly,” but the only thing I would’ve been triumphing over is a vacation from the mailbag.

THN staffers come out to answer your questions dealing with a Luongo trade, defensemen on the penalty-kill and more. The Stanley Cup may be over, but hockey isn’t about to leave our consciousness with the awards, draft and free agency all just around the bend.
